This is one game that I think everybody looks forward to. Two of the best teams in Europe giving their best. While the game wasn't too bad I couldn't get over the amount of diving and faking of injury in the game, it was embarrassing to watch. I watched the match with my father who is ninety this year and all he could do was laugh at the different incidents. Are they men or mice, he would say to me or, why is he holding his face when he got a tip on the shin. I couldn't answer him. It's beginning to creep into the Premiership and sometimes it would make me reach for the remote and watch something else. Its fast approaching wrestlingmania standards. It's not helped either when I saw Alan Shearer on motd one night giving his views on the awarding of a penalty, he came out with the statement if there is contact he's ENTITLED to go down. I always thought you went down when by the laws of gravity it was impossible to stay on your feet. The law makers will have to do something about it or else the ordinary punter will stop watching the game.
Ex footballers are the worst
Ex footballers are the worst at giving good judgements on what is right and wrong in football, I heard Michael Owen say it was the height of professionalism to dive at the right moment. I wanted to slap him! Half the players in that El Classico should be heavily fined for their behaviour... but did you notice that Messi didn't join in the cheating? Hope the kids will follow his example and not the other rabble.

That's the trouble, until refs clamp down on the cheating, players will keep doing it.
